If you need them i would grab them while you can Just spoke to my bridgestone dealer and they are not on special for long normal price $542 pt Twiggy

There is a front point for the hook behind a plastic square in the front bumper but if you have the nudge bar fitted it is covered up by the bar so not sure what to do in that instance the plastic square pops out and you screw the hook in to the thread Twiggy

Hi there I asked for them at my first inspection service only to be told they dont have them and to go to a tyre shop to get some So if someone has a part number that would be geat at least then i will have some thing to specify thanks Twiggy

Hi there just wanted to give an update there are 2 pairs of side steps on ebay at the moment One pair is the same at the one purchased by speedracer the other is the striaght pair and they have included a picture this time Sorry unable to attach the picture just look up kluger side steps on ebay Thanks Twiggy

Hi all Have just done the return trip Filled up a sutton forest with 91 unleaded averaged 9.9lt per 100kms filled up at Avenel. light came on with 29 kms to go and it indicated i had already done 599 so by my calculations i still had a 127kms to go eg 72 lts / 9.9lts = 727km I think the light my be linked to the display ?? not sure though Would have easily made it to Tallarook service station but the next services may have been a bit to risky with out some better knowledge of the area as there is some new services popping up between Melbourne and waggarata and I havent been up that way for a while plus having the kids on board I opted for the sensible approach. After filling up at Avenel we got 9.0ltrs per 100 for the remaining 160 km to home, (going by this distance may have made the out skirts of melb) Whilst in Bundanoon got my father in laws GPS out and compared the speed. there was a 5kph diff So again i adjusted the cruise to reflect this although i was most likely under the setting i used for the trip up by a few Kph. This time I also let the cruise do most of the work only took over if I felt it was going to drop down to far and rev beyond 3500 rpm With the E10 i got 10.4 for the same trip will give the 98 oct ago for the next trip around christmas time But overall very happy with the result considering the size of the car and the hills on some parts of the hume in NSW It will be much better when the roadworks are finished spent some time at 80kph I also believe that the higher the cruise speed the higher fuel consuption as when we dropped back to 100kph the averaged dropped only to rise again once we went back to 110kph hope this info helps refer to previous post for info on trip up See ya Twiggy

Hi everyone 09 kluger alttitude I have just arrived in Bundanoon in the southern high lands of NSW Left Melbloune with a full tank of e10 from coles service station and 940kms on the clock filled up at albury with e10 again from united arrived with just unerd 1/2 a tank and a total trip of 700ks (therabouts) averaged 10.4-10.6 with 2 adults and 2 kids couple of bikes on the back and enough clothes for a week very happy with this considering the weight of the car being close to 2350kgs (guessing here but close) loaded went up the hume so sat on the 110 to 112 on cruise turnrd off the cruise on some of the bigger hills. Checked the speedo on one of the overhead gantries on the way out of Melboune had the cruise right on 110 and the gantry said 104 so did compensate for this when setting the cruise control not sure if this effected the overall result? will try normal unleaded on the way home next week and report back Would love to get the figures better than 10 like the some others in this thread. Will it happen ???

does the dealer actually have one as i heard that they are not bringing them in any more (some one may correct me on this) but they are still advertising them. I hope they have one for you as we got ours 2 weeks ago and it was the one of a handful left in melb Twiggy

Was told by the dealer i got mine through that is i was to buy a kxs i could get a gold fleet deal which was about $6500 off plus trade in then asked about the Altittude and was told that fleet pricing was not available due to all the extras that they had put on it (they called it a retail car) still managed $2000 off with my fleet discount which i was happy with as by the time we added the extras on the altitude to a kxs it was way over my limit Twiggy

My kluger has 500k on it and I have been trying not go over 3000rpm have used the cruize abit only to get use to it We have been getting 11kpl around town including school pick ups etc which ias better than my 2lt v6 mazda lol Was told by the dealer to bring it back in a month for a check and that there was no need for an oil change until 10000ks unless i wanted it I have been told by a friend at toyota to change the oil when it goes in for the check What is the right thing to do ?? I hope I can get the same economy as mayhewga on our trip to sydney soon that means about 750 ks to a tank Thanks Twiggy

Twiggy, This is from my middle row, I've no mat for the third row as I've only used the 3rd row once. Hey fish thanks for the photo Are they the toyota mats or after market mats? They are perfect for what I want Thanks Twiggy

I am very interested in how you go with the mats for the third row has any one got a set of the kluger carpet mats do they cover the middle seat in the middle row as the rubber ones thay gave me are very average If someone has a pic of the carpet ones would be great if you could post it for us Thanks Twiggy

Thanks Speed racer for the pics they look great I am not fussed about which ones i get I just like to see how they look on the car first I will be keeping an eye out on ebay for the ones like yours aswell I have asked the guy with the straight ones to send some pics but he must be a shop or something as he is waiting for the purchaser to e-mail him some so i am not getting my hopes up about a timely responce. If I get them i will post them asap Thanks Twiggy

Hi All Thanks for your replys Those ones on ebay were the ones I was thinking about but I agree with the comments that a picture would be good prior to handing over the cash I think the straight end wouldn't look to bad rather than the curved ends if any one has any photos it would be great Speed racer what was the brand you brought ???? here is a nother type from powerful it is the aluminium side step Thanks Twiggy

Hi there Kwach10 Do you happen to know which brand they brought ? Was it the powerful brand ?? Thanks Twiggy

Just wondering if anyone has brought any after market side steps for their Kluger We pick up our Altitude tomorrow and I would like to get a set of side steps but the 1000 bucks for the one from toyota was a bit to much does any one have any recomendations Thanks Twiggy

The lowest quote I was able to get for a Altitude FWD was $47.5 drive away, he would not budge even a little , said very little margin in it the Altitude. good luck. Hi there this is my first post We are very excited about picking up or 2wd altittude tomorrow on road for $48700 with tinted windows front and rear, tow bar, front and rear parking sensors, carpet mats and nudge bar after trade in of $2500 $46200 last one on the show room floor not many left now really looking forward to haveing our first new car Thanks Twggy
